Paint me as the mean one,
the villain of the piece,
it plays better to your audience,
I don't think it will cease.
Paint me black and white,
without shades of grey,
to see life like this is simpler,
no nuance in the way.
Paint me with a wide brush,
takes less time to do
no subtlety or detail there,
(subtlety's not for you)
Paint yourself as hero,
and such a casualty,
viewers moved to tears by this,
they might be, not me.
So paint me any way,
any way you choose,
you don't really know me,
you never will- you lose.
